The total investment of the project exceeds 20 billion US dollars, covering systematic engineering such as mining, railways, and ports. The project delivered this time includes over 600 kilometers of new cross Guinea multi-purpose railway and supporting port facilities. After full production, the annual export volume of iron ore can reach up to 120 million tons. Diakit, Director of the Office of the President of Guinea and Chairman of the Simandou Strategic Committee, stated that the Simandou iron ore project is a dream that the Guinean people have been longing for for decades and a powerful engine driving the country's transformation. The commissioning of this project is a groundbreaking milestone in the development of Guinea. The Simandou iron ore project is jointly developed by the Guinea government, Baowu, Rio Tinto, Chinalco, and the Simandou Win Alliance. After the project is officially put into operation, all co built infrastructure will be transferred to a cross Guinea company operated by the Guinea government holding 15% of the shares and the joint venture companies in the southern and northern blocks holding 42.5% each.
